Does anyone know what artifacts survive from this tragedy? What became of the the wreckage/abutments of the bridge?

I have seen photos of another bridge in Ashtabula that the HAER folks took that appear to show a small brick ruin of some sort beneath this (I am referring to the viaduct that was built in the 20's). Is this a remnant of the bridge from the disaster?

Also, what became of the engine that survived? I read somewhere that the "Socrates" was on display in 1895 for the unveiling of the memorial to the victims, but there is no other information.
